The May Bank Holiday weekend is almost here, and with the return of the warm weather, there’s never been a better time to get out outdoors. It’s at this time of year that many of us start paying attention to our gardens again. Whether you have a small patch of grass or a large outdoor patio, the overwhelming desire to move all daily activities outside overcomes us all. Still, it’s fair to say that you can’t fully take advantage of your garden, balcony, or patio without some essential items of garden furniture and small complementary accessories. In this EZ Living Furniture blog, we discuss the pieces that can transform your outdoor area from a forgotten asset to a spectacular oasis. Keep reading to discover them all.
Lagos Set Of 2 Teak Folding Chairs & Table
First up is none other than the Lagos Bistro Set, and while it has featured on many garden-focused blogs up until this point, we felt it necessary to include it again. The Lagos is a small but impressive set because it has everything you need to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re looking to enjoy your morning coffee in the sun or dine al fresco in the evening with your significant other, the Lagos is the perfect choice. Still not convinced? This small set doesn’t take up much floor space, but even if you were concerned about it taking up too much available space, you can easily fold up this set and put it away and take it out again when you need it! Lagos really does have it all and is the perfect dining essentials set to get you started!
Cadiz Light Brown 3 Pot Wicker Planter
Every outdoor area would benefit from a bit of greenery, especially when it is in short supply. If you don’t have a grass-filled area, planters and plant pots are a great alternative as they allow you to bring in that pop of colour without demanding a great deal of upkeep. The Cadiz Planter, pictured above, is a personal favourite because it is made from a weather-resistant rattan material, meaning you can keep it outside all year long. Still, that’s not the only reason we love it; it features three separate pots, allowing you to plant whatever you feel like in each one (without having to worry about whether the plants can be planted together or not). There’s no reason why you couldn’t prioritise flowers and bright colours in one or two sections and herbs in another. The possibilities are endless, and contrary to what you might think, the Cadiz doesn’t consume a lot of space either, so it’s a win-win!
Granada Sun Lounger
The Granada Sun Lounger is an essential outdoor piece for sun lovers. Whether you love soaking up the summer sunshine and gradually building up that tan of yours or enjoy reading your favourite novel under the warm rays of the sun, the Granada Sun Lounger is the ideal choice for you. Featuring plush cushioning and an adjustable back, you can choose between lying completely flat for an afternoon snooze or slightly upright. The Granada Sun Lounger won’t suit everyone or even every outdoor space, but it is one of those pieces that, if you can afford to accommodate it, you definitely should.
The Laurel Recliner & Ottoman Wicker Set
If you’re someone who enjoys the outdoors but is not a big fan of sunbathing, then the Laurel Recliner, pictured above, is a great alternative to the Granada. It’s perfect for small or large areas and has everything you need to relax in style. The seat features a manual recliner, allowing you to fully sit back and relax while putting your feet up on the accompanying footstool. All you need to do to recline is simply pull the lever on the side of the seat. The Laurel is deemed an essential item of garden furniture because it has just enough to allow you to fully relax in the sun while being incredibly comfortable at the same time.
Alhambra Beige Hanging Outdoor Parasol
Shade is necessary, whether you deem it to be initially or not. We are all guilty of enjoying the sun a little too much, and sometimes this can mean we end up sore and covering ourselves in cooling aloe vera gel for the following few days after a spate of good weather. To avoid this and any potential sun damage, it’s important to recognise the need for a parasol. The Alhambra Parasol shown above is an essential addition to any outdoor area. It will allow you to enjoy the outdoors for as long as you want, and with its hanging design, it won’t visually impede anything (unlike a parasol that sits in the centre of a table). The Alhambra can also rotate 360 degrees, further enhancing its functionality. If you’re looking for a parasol that can offer shade from UV rays and blend well with surrounding decor, then the Alhambra Parasol is the one for you!
Now that you’ve discovered the essentials needed to bring your outdoor space to life, you can start shopping for the small, complementary items to complete the look!
